Pros

The best thing I can say about Venterra is that the company cares about it's people and is intent on hiring those that fit with the culture of the company. The company is in a constant state of improvement and involves every employee in the process. The focus is on the quality of the product and the quality of the service. Customer satisfaction is HUGE. The good thing is, "customer" does not just refer to clients and potential clients, "customer" also refers to the employees. Employees that perform are recognized and rewarded. There is definitely a TEAM atmosphere that pervades throughout Venterra.

Cons

The company is definitely not for everyone. If you are not willing to take ownership of your responsibilities, constantly improve yourself, and search for a better way of doing your job, you might as well look elsewhere. Though I don't consider it a negative, the search for constant improvement and positive change can be challenging.

Thank you for taking the time to provide a review! It's great to hear that you've been happy on the Venterra team and we are looking forward to having you with us for years to come! You're absolutely right. Always striving to improve as a company definitely means that our employees need to do the same, and this results in some high expectations that can certainly be difficult for some, but in the end are well worth the effort. Our Leader Promise to "have fun and celebrate success" can definitely come in all different forms, and making sure that we are taking the time to recognize accomplishments on the spot is definitely a critical one. Tying awards into this type of recognition is a great idea and we'll be sure to pass along the suggestion appropriately! Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and continue to speak up if you have any other ideas on how we can better ourselves as a company!

Pros

I was hired as a Maintenance Manager in 2007 and Venterra recognized my hard work and dedication and promoted me to Regional Maintenance Manager in 2010. Venterra is A company that recognizes your efforts and builds on them. A company that is built on a foundation of Core Values that are non-negotiable. Venterra works very hard to drive employee satisfaction and creating a Culture/Environment were people enjoy coming to work.

Cons

It is hard to come up with "Cons" in speaking about Venterra. Venterra is a company that has very high standards and that may be difficult for some to adapt to.

Pros

It is truly a rare instance when a company practices what they preach. Venterra is one of those companies. The Multi-Family Real Estate world is full of providers that market customer service as a cornerstone to apartment living, but there are only a few that actually place a strong focus on the effort in terms of programs and awards/support. The key is to support the effort from the top to the bottom. Venterra's leaders place a strong focus on providing exceptional customer service to the team members who, in turn, provide the same experience for our residents. Internal programs are highlighted with awards/prizes and include the Better Way - which offers the opportunity to identify areas for improvement and Better Living - which provides a forum for team members to create personal goals and cheer each other on to achieving personal milestones. These programs and the backing of senior leadership create a fun and very positive working environment.

Cons

Expectations are very high and demands placed on team members are equally challenging. While the company places a high value on work/life balance, those that do not place high emphasis on time management and personal organization will struggle to take advantage of the work/life opportunities. Be prepared to get to work!

Thank you for the review! It's great to hear that you're happy with our leadership, initiatives, and our areas of focus. We're especially glad to hear that you've enjoyed our Better Living program. It's been a lot of fun seeing all of the goals that have been set and seeing a lot of them achieved! We also appreciate your thoughts on our employee expectations. This is definitely an area where our standards can defer from some other companies in the industry. We believe that these high expectations turn into great results for us as a company, which in turn allows us to continually promote from within. Those time management and organizational skills you mention definitely are critical for all of our team members. Thank you once again for taking the time to spread the word on your experiences with us. We're looking forward to continuing to hear your voice for years to come, so don't hesitate to speak up!
